Hi. You seem to be looking for an authoritative statement from the MIT Kerberos Team on whether a particular configuration is supported in order to handle a dispute with a third-party application vendor. Nothing we are going to say is going to be that authoritative. We're distributing and developing open-source software. May I remind you of the following text from our license: M.I.T. makes no representations about the suitability of this software for any purpose. It is provided "as is" without express or implied warranty. THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED ``AS IS'' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. We're quite serious about that. MIT Kerberos comes with no warranties; we don't support it at all except what support we offer over mailing lists like this one in our spare time. I could tell you that yes, your configuration should work fine; I believe that to be true based on my knowledge. But I could be wrong because of some corner case. Nothing I tell you is going to be more meaningful than running the tests and seeing if your configuration works. I can certainly tell you that the documentation Oracle refers to on our web page is intended to give a configuration that happens to work, not to enumerate the set of possible working configurations. But it seems like you're looking for some sort of official statement of support, like you might get from Oracle through some support contract. You don't have a support contract with us; we are an educational institution and don't offer such contracts. We aren't interested in any liability that might come with making such official statements or in getting involved between two vendors in specific support issues. If you want to pay someone to support MIT Kerberos, I think that you'll find people willing to sell you high quality support for our product. We do have a webpage that lists people who claim to offer support for Kerberos. I'm sure that if you had such a support contract, you could get an official statement on whether your Kerberos implementation supports your configuration. I am sorry that I cannot be of more help. --Sam ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
